at gold is it waterprooff without any headphones plugged at all?

[vaquero44]

planning to do some beach hunting and wading was wondering can you use the at gold with out head phones at all to submerge the the control box?

Use the waterproof cap to cover the 2 pin connector, don't know if you'll hear much without phones...

 

[knightsquad]

What I have heard is that the unit is waterproof even without the Cap still use the cap as reassurance though.

If the control box is going under,it might be hard to hear any signal?

 

[vaquero44]

I realize that i'm just going in shallow water its only to put the detector down while I retrieve target I don't like the long handled scoopers I just dive for it I float very well, thanks!

Remember AT Gold is not saltwater rated, only for use in fresh water. I'd make sure the little cap was lightly greased and on in any case.

Don't know...I don't want to find out either...

 

[vaquero44]

that's good point on being greased a little but me and salt water no thanks, fresh water only believe it or not I find more on fresh water beaches than I ever had on the ocean

I don't know if it is waterproof without the cap, but sand and dirt will not be good for it. They put the cap there for a reason. It takes about five seconds to screw it on. Why even bother asking about it.

 

[knightsquad]

UH cause he dont have water proof phones and like he said, he dives
for the taget! He didn't say he WASN'T going to use the cap, just asking
about no head phones!

Vaquero, yes it's fine without the head phones...

I did mine without the head phones. I used a little plumbers tape on the cap worked great. Good luck!

At 2:52 you can see the cap is not screwed on when its under water.

 

[knightsquad]

Yup, I don't think it has to be either...
I would though... LOL

I got the blue water proof head phones and tried them out (on land) the other day. I like the fit,but they sure sound different that the stock one's that came with the ATP. Can't wait to get them in the water.

 

[knightsquad]

RK,
A lot different don't they?
Mine aren't loud as others have said are yours?
